• Wystan said:

  The New York City garbage strike was put down by a massive hiring of strikebreakers, but outbursts of resistance continued until the end of November, as documented by stories in The New York Times. Cleanup efforts dragged on into December. "Strikers Plead to be Taken Back" New York Times story, November 21, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02E3DC1231E2...

Crown Prince Luitpold, Bavaria (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• swanq said:

  Son of Kronprinz Rupprecht von Bayern (Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupprecht_von_Bayern The German wikipedia page for the father suggests that Prince Luitpold was born in 1901 and died in 1914. The English Wikipedia page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupprecht,_Crown_Prince_of_Bavaria indicates that the cause of his early death was polio.

• Art Siegel said:

  I will leave this to those who know the tiny intricacies of royal titles, but I don't think he was ever Crown Prince. Here's the original uncropped postcard from the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection: collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O37616/skh-erbprinz-luitpold-v... Information (in German) on the photographer, Franz Grainer (1871-1948), Bavarian Court Photographer and a founding member of the Society of German Photographic Artists (GDL), (predecessor of the German Photographic Academy) of which he became Chairman. : de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Grainer

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks to both of you for your research. It looks as though that postcard from the V&A was the source of Bain's image, artolog. And they include a great description of his clothing as well as a date, the year he died. We'll add some of this information to the record the next time we update.
